This is Phoebe. Thank you very much for saving me.

Julietta nodded as if she understood that kind of mind. Im Jul-, Iris. Its nice to meet you.

At Juliettas greeting, Phoebe once again bowed her head and said, Thank you very much for your help. Id appreciate it if you could drop me off somewhere. If you tell me where you live, Ill make sure to pay you back.

Phoebe planned to return to her quarters for now. In most cases, the hostel would have cleared Phoebes luggage after she did not pay the bill. She hoped they hadnt thrown it all away. The lady in front of her spoke kindly, as if she were soothing her, when she saw her indisputable look of sadness.

I think something hard happened to you. Its probably going to be hard to forget for a long time. Julietta said sadly, recalling the surprising situation earlier. If she had been unlucky, that could have been her. Something could happen whenever there was no one to take care of things in this unequal society. She felt so happy and about to fly away until yesterday, but suddenly she felt like she was thrown back into cold reality.

I dont know where Phoebe used to live, but if its not close enough, why dont you lean on me until you get well? Even though we dont know each other, we can lend each other shoulders and comfort each other. Whats more, we know each other now?

Phoebe looked at the talking angel with a bright smile with a touched face. Would I be beholden to you like that?. She tried to refuse in a trembling voice, but she desperately wanted to hold the hand that the angel had given her.

It will be okay if I count on others for once? Wouldnt it be better this time?

Julietta added her words to Phoebes conflict-ridden face. I run a dressing shop. Im really busy these days. Id appreciate you if you could help me out as soon as you recover, but would it be too much of a favor?

Phoebe wanted to do what she wanted just this once, only because of the good lady who asked in a slightly sweet voice. I beg of you, lady.

You dont have to say lady. Just call me by name.

No, let me call you lady. You are the first person Ive ever wanted to call lady.

Julietta laughed at Phoebes toughness, who seemed as if she didnt let her call her that, shed get off the wagon right away.

Calling is not important, each others mind is important. If thats convenient for you, call me that.

When Julietta answered, the carriage arrived at the dressing shop. As soon as the carriage stopped in the coach house, Gibson jumped off the drivers seat and said, Lady, Ill get Amelie and Sophie, you have to stay here until I get back. You must not come out. Do you understand?

Beyond the closed door, Julietta could feel Gibsons great anxiety, so she replied that she would do that.

Soon after he disappeared, a loud noise was heard and the carriage door burst open.

Oh, my God, Julietta! Whats this look like?

Sophie screamed unconsciously when she saw Julietta sitting back almost naked in a short underskirt, and her wig had moved back and was hanging on her shoulders. The woman cowering like a sinner in the corner of a carriage didnt even come into their eyes.

Be quiet. What if someone hears us inside? Give me the clothes.

Amelie took the dress from Sophies hand, as she was about to fall down in shock. She came into the carriage and quickly began to dress Julietta. Finally, Amelie put on her wig again and sighed, groaning when she saw the woman on the other side who was so intimidated.

Whats going on, miss? Oh my God, its probably the first time Ive been surprised like this since I lost my home to a gambling debt. Amelie said that and looked back at Julietta with an embarrassed face as she called for Gibson.

Sophie also looked at Julietta with a bewildered face as she looked at the strange woman in the carriage.

Julietta sighed, looking at the helpless two.

Dont look like that. Phoebe, Im sorry. Let me introduce myself again. Julietta said, reaching out one hand to Phoebe. My name is Julietta. Im called Iris now. People shouldnt know that Im Julietta. You will keep the secret, wont you?

Phoebe replied enthusiastically, holding carefully the hand that Julietta had put out. Yes, of course! Of course. No, I havent heard or seen anything about what just happened.

Amelie and Sophie looked a little relieved when they saw Phoebe nodding as hard as she could. Amelie told the approaching Gibson, I think youll need a doctor from the look on your face. Gibson, call Dr. Paulo at Forty-fourth street. Hes a heavy-mouthed, so you can trust him.

Gibson nodded and hurried on.

He must be out of his mind. He can take the wagon after we get off, but he is running away.

When Sophie looked pitifully at Gibsons running back, Amelie said, Its not far away, but we can think of it as him exercising. Julietta, get off quickly. Fortunately, the annex is very quiet today. Theres no one here to see you, Amelie said sarcastically, as they to stay away from the annex except for sleeping, because of the group of the Prince came in and out of it like their own house.

Sophie was worried when Julietta tried to help the woman in front of her. Julie, well take her on our own, so you go to the annex. Im worried about someone coming in while looking like this.

Sophie dressed her roughly and put the wig back on, but she jumped up and down looking at her busty figure.

Julietta thought it would only take more time if she helped, so she headed to the annex quickly.

After watching Julietta leave the wagon, Amelie and Sophie looked at the woman in the wagon. Oh my God, your face is a mess. Look at this blood I think you hurt a lot, can you walk?

When Amelie asked her a worried question, Phoebe replied, feeling like she became guilty. I dont have one leg

Oh, my God. What happened? Then put one arm on me and lean on me like this. Sophie quickly held her other side while the big Amelie almost carried the woman on her back and managed to get her out of the carriage.

How hard it must have been like that! Just hang in there a little bit more. All you have to do is cross the garden over there.

Only

As they entered the annex sweating profusely, Julietta, who had been waiting hurried up to them. Youve been suffered through a lot. You have a wound on your back. Are you okay?

Only then did Amelie and Sophie notice the wound. They were frightened as they laid Phoebe down on the sofa and looked at her back.

Oh, my God! Is this blood or sweat? Its blood! Sophie was unable to see her bloody back because of her dark dress. She touched it and lamented, How painful it must have been for the fabric to rub against the raw wound! Lets take your clothes off quickly. If you stay this way and get caught in this heat, youll be in big trouble.

Amelie quickly brought the bedsheets down from the bedroom on the second floor.

I think its not going to be easy to go upstairs, but I dont know what else to do. As Sophie spoke she stripped off Phoebes maid uniform. Amelie grumbled, covering her naked body with sheets. She cant even be here. Theres a man who comes and goes from here like his own house.

Ill tell him. Dont come in the future.

At Juliettas words, Amelia snorted. Hell not hear what youre saying. Come on, I think itd be better to clean out the empty bedroom on the second floor of the main house and have her stay there. Besides, if we are out working, the annex would be empty, but wouldnt it be better to have someone nearby than to be here alone? She could call someone to help her.

Oh, that would be better. The bedroom in the main house has a bathroom, so I think itll be more comfortable to stay in.
